ADB MD urges manufacturers to leverage current economic environment for growth

At ADB, we see manufacturing as a vital partner. The bank supports various sectors in manufacturing, including apparel. We also value the agricultural value chain highly.

As a bank focused on agribusiness, we aim to support viable manufacturing ventures. These ventures can boost export potential and empower SMEs. We promote sustainable production practices as well.

Our financing solutions and technical partnerships help local industries expand internationally. Supporting agro-processing and industrial innovation is crucial for reducing post-harvest losses. It also increases export earnings and strengthens food security.

Mr. Sarpong emphasized the need for collaboration with government and policymakers. He called for consistent investment in skills development, infrastructure, and technology. This will help unlock Ghana’s manufacturing potential fully.

Recently, Ghana's currency, the Cedi, has appreciated significantly. Government policies like the Big Push are expected to aid national development. ADB plays a key role in Ghana's economic development through financial intermediation.
